LITILIT Opens New Femtosecond Laser Plant with Annual Capacity of Up to 3,000 Units

Veko·Laser has learned that the new factory of LITILIT, a globally renowned femtosecond laser manufacturer in Vilnius, officially opened on October 16, 2026. The plant represents a total investment of EUR 6 million and covers more than 4,000 square meters. It plans to produce about 1,000 femtosecond lasers in its first year, with annual capacity reaching 3,000 units at full output.

LITILIT says the plant is one of the world's largest femtosecond laser factories by potential capacity. The first products from the new facility are scheduled for delivery in November 2026, mainly to Europe, North America and Asia.

Femtosecond laser technology is widely used in semiconductors, displays, ophthalmic surgery and vascular stents, but it has long been produced in small batches with manual tuning, making scaled delivery difficult. Founded in 2015, LITILIT has achieved volume production through modular design and automated assembly, backed by two international patents. According to the company, its lasers are about half the size of the industry average, achieve an electro-optical conversion efficiency of about 20%, and use passive air cooling. The company is also developing the Femoda modular system, which can combine dozens of laser modules into kilowatt-class systems and integrate with industrial robotic arms.

Asia is LITILIT's fastest-growing market, with Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan, China as the main regions. Demand is driven primarily by the manufacturing and semiconductor industries, and 2026 revenue is expected to grow significantly from 2025. To fund expanded capacity, LITILIT is considering launching a new funding round of about EUR 20 million, targeting venture capital firms, ILTE and strategic investors that can help expand its international presence. Once the new plant reaches full capacity, annual revenue could reach EUR 100-200 million.

On the financing side, Lithuania's national development bank ILTE provided LITILIT with an EUR 8 million loan in April 2026 to support the Femoda project, which has a total budget of about EUR 10 million. LITILIT posted 2025 revenue of more than EUR 3 million and pre-tax profit of about EUR 1.5 million.

LITILIT believes Lithuania currently accounts for about 10%-15% of the global femtosecond laser and related component market, and the new factory could add another 10-15 percentage points. The Vilnius plant is only the first step; the company plans to replicate similar factories overseas with international partners in the future.
